The sync connector is a mini 8 pin din? (as used in DJ equipment) It syncs 
not only audio clock but also transport control. The manual refers to the 
DJ syncing equipment as a source for cables, but does not say if it uses 
the same standard, nor any pinout info. They do not seem to expect anyone 
to use more than two synced together. I do not know if this is a hard 
limit (adding a third unit just won't work) or daisy chaining to more than 
two just doesn't give good syncing. I suspect that the sync out comes from 
internal clock and is not clock through. So at best it is sync in -> local 
clock ppl -> clock out. The manual does not say if the transport can be 
controlled buy the connected computer, but does say that streaming to USB 
stick turns off the stream to USB connected computer.
